Boat from Cebu to Palompon* 5-6 hours Php 250
20 cap. Pumpboat from Palompon to Calanggaman 45 mins Php 3500
* Cokaliong schedule and rates here.
Of course you can probably get a lower price for the pumpboats, depending on your haggling skills :-) Or you can also opt to look for a smaller boat if the group is small. But I would recommend a big sturdy one as the waters around Calanggaman are normally choppy.
If you'd like to contact Palompon Tourism for questions about the island, fees, table rentals, etc, you may reach them thru the following numbers 0905 856 2086 / (053) 555 9010 / (053) 3382094.
